PM continues


Is it in the essence of atomic energy? An element of ephemera?
Particle monologues continues like the laundry we hang to dry in the spring breeze, arriving like a special delivery package to those who find them. On June 13th, in an exhibition entitled "Walls of Hope", Particle Monologues will begin a journey from the MOCA in Oakland to Stockholm, then Buenos Aires to San Salvador, then returning to Oakland sometime next year. This exhibition invites artists and agitators exploring the practice of art as intervention and community change fodder, specifically recognizing that communities that have been torn apart during war can be reunified through the process of art-making and that all people have the right to make art.

chattanooga particle monologues










these particle monologues were created in chicago and then delivered to chattanooga, tn while i was there for a conference. i walked around one afternoon and ended up posting these on market street -- a main thoroughfare downtown. two men took an interest in the idea and started to wonder about the people for whom they were monologuing to/for in their own minds. thanks to beth & justin for creating these in my kitchen one night in chicago, giving them to me, and allowing me send them off into the universe via chattanooga, tn.
